PREFACE. 

THIS is an outline of dosimetric medication, not 
a complete system of medical practice. There 
are many valuable medicines that cannot be 
put into the granule form, and many affections that 
require very different treatment. For instance, in 
case of puerperal septicemia, such indications as 
can be met by the use of the granules are men- 
tioned, but I would be very sorry to have any reader 
think I would rely on these and neglect to first 
clear out all decomposing matter from the uterus. 
With this understanding, it must be added that a 
great majority of the affections a physician is called 
upon to treat with drugs can be treated with these 
granules. They are easily administered, they can 
be readily dissolved in water, and thus given to 
little children. When desired, they may be given 
hypodermically. Consisting of the active princi- 
ples, they are arms of precision, bearing the same 
relation to the old-fashioned galenical preparations 
that the rifle does to the shot-gun. The former re- 
quires a careful aim, but is much more likely to hit 
the mark, Further than this, there is nothing in 
dosimetry to warrant its elevation into a special 
system of medication. No new properties are im- 
parted to drugs by putting them up in this form. 



4 PREFACE. 

Dosimetric aconitine has just the same therapeutic 
value as aconitine as put up by the pharmacist on 
the doctor's prescription, and no more ; with the 
exception, however, that it is likely to be in more 
accurately divided doses, and more pure and uni- 
form in quality, since a reliable manufacturer of 
granules, handling drugs in large quantities, has 
better opportunities of selecting them than the or- 
dinary retail pharmacist has. 



DOSIMETRIC REMEDIES. 

FOR the physiological action of medicines, we 
must refer our readers to the great works of 
I^auder Brunton, Wood, Ringer, Gubler, and 
Hare. Our present limits confine us to a few hints 
as to the use of these remedies in the form of dosi- 
metric granules. 

The doses are small enough to allow very fre- 
quent repetition. If a strong effect is desired, several 
granules can be given at once. When a quick effect 
is desired, they should be given in hot water. In gen- 
eral, it is best to give small doses, frequently repeated, 
until the desired effect is obtained ; but sometimes a 
powerful effect is desired speedily, when full doses 
should be given. When several different granules 
are indicated, it is best to dissolve them in a single 
glass of water, allowing a teaspoonful to each dose. 
Very few persons will complain of the taste, but for 
those who do, it is well to have a vial of saccharine 
in the case, and shake a few particles into the solu- 
tion. If solution does not occur at once, the gran- 
ules may be crushed with a spoon. For children, 
the dose should be regulated by the ordinary rule, 
giving such a proportion of the adult dose as is 
represented by the age, divided by the age plus 
12. Thus, a child one year of age should receive 
1&12 = ii of an adult dose. I have never seen 
any calculation of the dosage of infants under one 
year. The following is suggested, in the absence 
of a better : Two -thirds of the dose for one year 
may be given to a child from nine to twelve 
5 



6 OUTLINE OF TREATMENT 

months old. From six to nine months, the dose 
should be one-third that for a year ; from three to 
six months, one-fourth ; and under three months, 
one-eighth the dose for a year, making due allow- 
ance in using drugs that are borne better, and those 
that are not so well borne, by children, in propor- 
tion to age. 

Sufficient medicine should be left to last until 
the next visit, and no more. This gives a chance 
to change without the appearance of vacillation — 
always disastrous to the doctor. Children should be 
seen frequently, especially when we are trying to 
abort or " jugulate" a fever. If several different 
granules are given at the same time, but at different 
intervals, they should be dispensed in separate pack- 
ages. Directions as to each should be given in 
writing. It is incredible how little consideration 
a nurse may be giving to your orders, although her 
attitude expresses rapt attention. 

In the following table the ordinary doses are given ; 
exceptional ones are noted when treating of the dis- 
ease. In general, the granules are best given singly, 
or not more than three at a dose, repeated at short 
intervals. Thus, aconitine, anemonine, antimony 
and veratrine should be given in hot water every ten 
to thirty minutes, until the effects on the pulse are 
manifested. They may then be given whenever the 
pulse rises over the limit determined upon. Ipecac, 
apomorphine and expectorants generally, should 
be given in the same way. The arseniates and 
heart tonics should be given in single granule 
doses, repeated every two hours, except glonoin, 
which may be repeated every ten minutes. Reme- 
dies given for insomnia, enuresis and night-sweats, 
should be given in a single, full dose at bed-time. 
Bitter tonics are best given in cold water, before 



WITH DOSIMETRIC GRANULES, 7 

meals. Remedies for gastric^catarrh should be 
given in hot water, one-half hour before meals. 
Emetics, cathartics, pilocarpine when its full effect 
is desired, should be given in a single, full dose. 
Remedies for hemorrhage, as digitaline, ergctine, 
etc., full doses every four hours. Laxatives, in sin- 
gle doses, before meals. For vomiting, single 
granules, repeated every fifteen minutes. Tissue 
reconstructives, such as the lime salts, single gran- 
ules every hour. Remedies for neuralgia, full 
doses every hour. For chronic catarrhs, medium 
doses every two hours, unless the patient is hard to 
manage, when give a full dose on rising, and on 
going to bed. " Blood purifiers," like iodoform, 
calcium sulphide, one every hour. To relieve 
pain, full doses, in hot water, repeated very often. 
For malaria, delirium, nervous paroxysms, chorea, 
asthma, hysteria, palpitation, etc., full doses in hot 
water. For syphilis, small doses, repeated often. 
For diarrhea, a dose after each stool. For atonic 
dyspepsia, small doses before and after meals. In 
many cases the physician can take the quantity he 
would use of ordinary preparations, and simply give 
it in broken doses ; for instance, if he would give 
1-50 grain of digitaline every five hours, he can give 
1-500 every half hour, leaving a " stop order" in all 
such cases. Burggraeve gives the strychnine salts, 
one granule every half hour, for acute diseases, and 
digitaline every one-fouith hour. I do not like this 
use of digitaline ; its action lasts too long for such a 
rapid administration, audit is best used in full doses. 
Acetanilide should be given cautiously to weakly 
people ; veratrine, aconitine, tartar emetic, likewise. 
Colchicine is a dangerous drug for the old, the 
young, or the weakly. It is a priceless remedy in 
all plethoric states. Heart tonics should be

watched, and given till the pulse comes up like a 
fiddle-string in tune. Arsenic acts best on an 
empty stomach. It should not be given after it has 
caused puffiness of the eyelids, with itching or 
eczema. Apomorphine should be given to children 
in emergencies only. Atropine is not good for 
blondes. Curarine, daturine, duboisine, canthar- 
idine, elaterin, emetin, glonoin, hyoscine, hyos- 
cyamine, mercury cyanide, muscarine, napelline, 
rhus, sanguinarin, scillitoxin, zinc cyanide and zinc 
phosphide, are drugs that should be handled care- 
fully, and not entrusted to children, or to those 
who are untrustworthy. 

These few suggestions may serve as an introduc- 
tion to the use of dosimetric granules.
